Battle of Midway, won by the US Navy.
The Battle of Midway was an important battle of World War II. This is an aircraft carrier battle group war against an aircraft carrier battle group. It is also a well-known example of the US Navy winning more with less.
On June 4, 1942, the U.S. Navy not only successfully repelled the Japanese Navy's attack on Midway Atoll in this battle, but also gained the initiative in the Pacific Theater, thus becoming a turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
Basic Overview: Midway, with an area of only one square kilometer, has a special geographical location that determines the importance of its strategic position. The island is located 2,800 nautical miles from San Francisco in the United States and Yokohama in Japan, and is in the middle of the Pacific route between Asia and North America, hence the name Midway.
In addition, it is located 1,135 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor, and is an important military base and transportation hub of the United States in the Central Pacific region, as well as the gateway and outpost of the United States military in Hawaii. Once Midway Island is lost, Pearl Harbor, the base camp of the US Pacific Fleet, will also be killed. [1]
The Battle of Midway, fought on June 4, 1942, was a major battle of World War II. The U.S. Navy not only successfully repelled the Japanese Navy's attack on the Midway Atoll in this campaign, but also gained the initiative in the Pacific Theater, so this battle can be said to be a turning point in the Pacific Theater.
Just a month after the Battle of the Coral Sea, Japan had already planned Midway as its next target. Not only would it avenge the U.S. Air Force's attack on Tokyo, but it would also open the door to the Hawaiian Islands. Prevent U.S. troops from coming out from Hawaii and attacking Japan.
The Japanese Navy wanted to take this opportunity to lure the remnants of the US Pacific Fleet to Midway and annihilate them in one fell swoop. In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese Navy almost poured out of the nest, devoting most of its forces, and the size of the fleet even surpassed that of the Combined Fleet at the time of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history. It was the largest strategic offensive of the Japanese Navy in World War II, but due to the containment of the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Combined Fleet sent two fewer aircraft carriers, namely the injured "Shozuru" and "Zuizuru", which had a very serious impact on the operation.
In the Battle of Midway, if the Japanese Navy achieved the set goal, the West Coast of the United States would be directly threatened by the Japanese Navy. Since the rest of the U.S. Navy** has been deployed to the North Atlantic, the U.S. will not have the ability to effectively strike back against the Japanese Navy in the Pacific in the short term. Japan is well aware of the military potential of the United States.
Once the enormous industrial production capacity of the United States was fully brought into the orbit of the war, Japan had little hope of victory. Therefore, Japan hopes to force the United States to sit down at the negotiating table and quickly end the war with the United States before such a situation arises.
Some military scholars also believe that if the Japanese navy threatens or really attacks the west coast of the United States, it will force the United States to transfer the military equipment urgently needed to the front line in Europe to the west coast of the United States, and this will not only cause a shortage of military supplies in the European theater, but may even cause the European theater to lose ground again, and allow Nazi Germany to win the final victory.

Battle of Midway.
A battle that turned the tide of war in the Pacific War. On May 5, 1942, Japan occupied Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, the limit of Japan's southward advance. On 7 and 8 May, the Japanese Navy suffered a setback in the fierce battle of the Coral Sea.
The Japanese naval command decided to shift its forces to the central part of the Pacific Ocean, seize Midway, and eliminate the bases from which the American forces were advancing. Japan formed a powerful combined fleet, commanded by Admiral Yamamoto personally. Nagumo Tadaichi led the 1st Aircraft Carrier Fleet as the main attack.
The US fleet was relatively weak, but because it had intercepted the Japanese army's operational secret telegrams, it knew the Japanese army's battle plan well, and it was secretly waiting to destroy the enemy. On June 3, the Japanese fleets arrived at their designated positions. Nagumo Tadaichi ordered the first batch of 108 aircraft on the aircraft carrier to attack Midway.
The second group of planes was still on standby on deck, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes reported the discovery of the American fleet, and the Japanese planes on the deck all dropped their bombs and modified torpedoes. Suddenly, 37 U.S. dive bombers flew directly at the Japanese aircraft carriers "Chichen" and "Kaga"; Another 17 flew directly to the "Canglong". Immediately after the three ships were shot, they triggered a bomb on the deck**, and the shrapnel passed through the deck and caused ** in the depths of the hull, and three once-prominent behemoths sank to the bottom of the sea.
Yamamoto received the news and ordered all fleets to concentrate on attacking Midway Island in retaliation. Japanese planes blew up the US aircraft carrier USS Yorkton, but US planes soon sank the Japanese aircraft carrier USS Flying Dragon. In this battle, the Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, 1 heavy cruiser, more than 400 aircraft, and 3,500 soldiers, including several hundred skilled pilots.
Japan reluctantly admits that "the initiative in the Pacific has passed into the hands of the enemy."

The loss of the Japanese aircraft carrier at Midway was partly due to Nagumo Tadaichi's indecision, and since it was impossible to confirm whether the US aircraft carrier formation was nearby, he constantly ordered his subordinates to change bombs, torpedoes, bombs, torpedoes for carrier-based aircraft, and ...... for bombs, so that the bomber has not taken off, and the worst thing is that the replaced ammunition is piled on the bridge, so when the US carrier-based aircraft begins to bomb, a bomb may not be able to cause much damage, but often a bomb can cause a terrifying chain reaction - detonate the ammunition, ignite gasoline, a large number of explosions and fires are impossible to extinguish in a short time.
In addition, LZ has made a lot of cognitive mistakes, but I am not interested in correcting them one by one.

There were many reasons for Japan's defeat, and bad luck cannot be blamed on it all. Not only were there bombs and planes refueling on the aircraft carriers, but only the Kaga and Soryu were sunk by the bombing, and the Akagi and Hiryu were sunk by torpedoes launched by the Japanese destroyers themselves. In other words, if time permits, it can be completely pulled back to Japan by tugboat for repair, so as not to sink into the sea.
The aircraft carrier is burning and there is a possibility at any time **, the rescue is too dangerous. Besides, isn't war just a fight for national strength? Isn't it true that Germany was defeated by the tigers and defeated the wolves in the end.

There were not only bombs on the deck at that time, but also planes with fuel and ammunition waiting to take off, half of the deck, would this be very powerful? And not only did you detonate the bombs and oil, but you also cut off the fire pipes, and you let those people take buckets to fetch water to extinguish the fire?

Pearl Harbor is not an island, it was bombed by the Japanese in World War II, and it has been famous all over the world ever since. If you're traveling to Hawaii, head to Pearl Harbor to get a look at the historical background, including the war-fighting USS Arizona and USS Missouri. Generally, you can play in it for half a day, and then you can go to the outlet mall to buy something after playing.
